These are known as clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks. Depending on the size of the clasts they may be claystones (< 4 micro m), siltstones (grain size between 4 and 64 micro m) or sandstones (grain size between 64 micro m and 2 mm).
If formed of angular fragments larger than 2mm in a finer grained matrix, this type of rock is known as a breccia. If the fragments are rounded, and larger than 2mm then it is a conglomerate.
clastic rocks are formed from eroded rocks and minerals.
Clastic sedimentary rock is made up of particles of pre-existing rocks.
Wethered rock, yes. The sediment accumulate in a deposit and sedimentary rock is formed at low temperature and low pressure after a few millions of years.
A "breccia" is a sedimentary rock made up of broken fragments of one or more rocks.
Conglomerate or Breccia. You'd have to specify the shape of the fragments and types of minerals.

Clastic rock
Such a layer is a conglomerate
a clastic rock
A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments or particles of other rocks is called 'clastic'.

Conglomerate.
Breccia is the type of sedimentary rock that is made of other fragmented rocks. The mineral that holds the fragments together can be made from the same rock material as the larger fragments, or from a different type of rock entirely.
A clastic sedimentary rock.
Clastic or detrital rocks, depending on size.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
The resulting sedimentary rock is classified as clastic.
Fragmental sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, such as sand, gravel or clay. These fragments become cemented together because of pressure and other chemical reactions.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the fragments of other rocks
Fragmental sedimentary rocks are formed from rock fragments, such as sand, gravel or clay. These fragments become cemented together because of pressure and other chemical reactions.
A sedimentary rock made up of rock fragments or particles of other rocks is called 'clastic'.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the rock fragments that are made when a rock is eroed. Theese rock fragments are transported (carried away) from the rock face, usually by streams or rivers. As they are transported by the water, the rock fragments knock against each other and wear away. When they become very small they are called grains
